Never Expected

by Bren Ren

I never expected this….

I never expected flowers and chocolates…

And I didn't get them

I never expected romance…

This wasn't about exaggerated declarations

I never expected a second chance…

Then I opened the door

I never expected regulations to fall away faster than our clothing…

Now I lay beside you as bare as my heart

I never expected it would be this good…

I never dared hope that far

I never expected to wake up…

And find myself in your arms

I suppose, though, that I should have expected this

When I gave my heart back to you…

The heart that never really left you…

I never expected it too…
